Dave Insley

Dave Insley has a new album out entitled, Call Me Lonesome. Check out Ray’s review of Mr. Insley’s work and make sure you check out Dave’s site after you read the review!

Weeeeell let’s see. Received Dave Insley’s solo debut album, Call Me Lonesome, put it in the player, and I must say it wasn’t my pint of beer. Started off with "There’s Gonna Be a Few Changes," and it just didn’t catch me. Of course I’m gonna give it the benefit of the doubt and continue listening. Low and behold track 3 "Laid to Waste" started to tug me in. This song showed me Dave Insley’s style, which is a nice mix of classic honky tonk, and a little bit of rock and roll thanks to The Careless Smokers (backup band). Still, I’m not completely in and showing resistance, but still I must carry on. Finished the CD and while driving home, I decided to give it one more listen. Still not into at the beginning, but when "Roy Boy" started playing, I started to sing along. I stopped myself to make sure I wasn’t getting any what the hell is that guy saying looks from the chumps not listening to Americana music on their way home. So after listening to it more and more I realized I enjoy it more with time. It’s a good driving album if you ask me.
